   Ya'll made me feel old today :-) I thought it was us Xers who were the rambunctious "zomg, how will they ever function in the work place!" hyper-ambitious folk making the boomers shake their heads... Love it!

    Solution will change as size and needs of the deployment change. If accepting images from the wild, dedicated image processing is a Good Idea because there are some images out there that to nasty things to any/all of the image manipulation

    The key here is to see it from the opposite end -- from the potential employer point of view. We (I am a programmer, but I do a lot of interviewing and general recruity stuff) get metric raftloads of resumes, interest emails, and so on. Mos

    I love how close this is to what we (Ning) started with, down to the cloning terminology! Really interested to see where it goes. The other "JS Everywhere" folk-programming startup (name escapes me) went tits up recently :-( Not sure why. G
